Abstract

 Almost every ecosystem maintains its own environmental insurance system. In order to maintain this system, an ecosystem needs three kinds of diversity: biological, genetic and functional. Biological diversity refers to the richness of species in a particular area; genetic diversity refers a way for a particular species to adapt itself to changing environments while functional diversity equates to the biophysical processes that happen within the area. One of the most important impacts of genetic diversity is that it acts as a buffer against the variability of environmental conditions particularly in the medium and long terms.

Keywords: Biological Diversity; Genetic Diversity; Ecosystem; Conservation; Values; Society.
